Honesty

"True friends stab you in the front." Oscar Wilde

Most likely there are any number of people willing to talk about you behind your back, but if you have one person in your life who is willing to tell you exactly what you need to hear, you have a real treasure. Most of us will say we value honesty, and we feel so insulted when we discover someone has lied to us. But there is usually a reason why people are less than honest. Could it be that we can't handle the truth? That we are so sensitive that people tiptoe around us, worrying that our feelings might be hurt? If we want to be the best we can be, we are going to have to let our defenses down around someone we love and trust and hear what they have to say.
